I want a nice older gay gentleman to see the episode with Mr. Starnes and just grab his hand and start singing "Give Your Heart A Break" to him until they both start crying. Because there's just so much you can take. Oh yeah yeah yeah.

Florinaldo, you covered the "Do Not" list pretty well, but did you forget about Craigslist?

Craigslist is the DEVIL, y'all. I'm so afraid of Craigslist that when I actually go on it on rare occasion during my lunch hour at work, I clear my cache on my computer. Craigslist for JJ litigants is like the deep Interweb or whatever the hell ya call it, the place where you can "buy anything" including drugs, nasty porn, guns, bitcoins, all that stuff I think I understand but really don't. We've had a recurring rash of Craigslist crimes here in Florida where people meet to sell something but the buyer shows up with a band of thugs and basically beats the heck outta the seller and steals whatever stuff was in the deal. 

 

The old Grindr dude just made me feel so "ew". Even the commercial made me want to take a shower and clean out my ear canals with Listerine.

I wonder if JJ looked it up, as I did, after this case. I know nothing, but NOTHING fazes her but this might cause even her to at least raise an eyebrow.

 

Have you seen this very disturbing yet hilarious video of women reading Grindr messages out loud? That's how I found out what it is. Very romantic!

 

Keep the Listerine handy.

Lol, you guys are hilarious.  I'm a gay man, I have never used Grindr myself but a lot of my friends have.  Tinder is actually the straight response to Grindr.  Grindr came first then Tinder.  

 

Another thing about Grindr (not sure if Tinder has this) but there is a GPS component, that tells you how far away the closest person is.  For example, if going out to a club, party, or just your office, you would turn on Grindr and it would show you all the other gay men who are close in distance to you.  This happened at a party at my house, my roommate's friend, a gay male, was showing me his Grindr profile and when he signed on it notified him that there was another interested guy on the site who was 20 feet away.  Which then prompted me and my friend to visually comb the party to pick out the guy, which we successfully did.

 

Technology at its finest.

I'm a straight female married to the same man for the last 10 years. After reading this I am extremely happy I found Mr. Milz long before apps that would have told him (and any other male---wacko stalker or nice guy) the physical distance I was currently located. Dating has become creepy, imo.

 

And I can't wait until the day when JJ will preside over a case wherein the Plaintiff is suing the Defendant for borrowed money, unauthorized credit card purchases, unpaid share of rent, an injured pet, unpaid parking tickets, damages to a 1981 Ford Pinto, a roll of paper towels, AND harassment because the Defendant has been following them around via one of these dating sites showing up whenever Plaintiff is within 100 feet. That would be a 2 Part JJ if ever there was one.

I'm certain you meant that literally and figuratively.

 

I'd say literally.

 

So who hated the giant-eared, double-chinned, smirky, slimeball "breeder"/kitten peddler? I'm sure she doesn't want any buyers coming to her place and seeing the squalor in which she keeps those unfortunate cats. Ugh.

 

The Fucked Up Family from Minnesota? I can't even...

 

Rerun! I still haven't figured out what 50 year old "Suzet" - who likes to drive drunk, doesn't work, sponges off her elderly mother, rips off her "best friend"  and collects food stamps - has that attracted the bleached, buffed and hunky boyfriend. What? A green card is the only incentive I can think of, but she says he lives on his own. She's a traditional kind of girl, doncha know, and is holding out for marriage.

Today's first episode gave me a chance to participate in one of my favorite pastimes...a game called Diagnose That.  My Master's is in Special Ed, so it's kind of a work-related game.  In the first case, poor Ashley Crook had more going on than just ADHD.  During the case, I worried about her pending marriage, as her fiancee also presented with some challenges.  But I love being proven wrong in these scenarios --- that fiancee busted out the most coherent and wisest summary and analysis of the situation during the hallterview.  Hats off to that young man, and I raise another glass to him for having employment. Sadly, I think he's going to have his hands full with Ashley, her snake of a mother who stole her SS checks, and her mother's seedy-looking boyfriend.

 

The second case let me play Diagnose That with cat miller Crystal Methved (WTF kind of name is that?  For Pete's sake -- Crystal Meth.)  Her low ears and odd jawline kept me guessing, and, if nothing else, she is a scam-artist running a cruel kitten mill.  Damn, I wish more of these court shows would do a little PSA once in a while about adopting shelter/rescue pets.  Granted, those pets still carry a genetic question mark, but at least people aren't giving money to those inhumane mills and the dirtbags that run them. 

 

In the second episode, the people fighting over the parking spot at the county fair were just lyingx100.  

 

But the last case....ohhh the last case -- one thing was definitely proven: Byrd does not like gingers.  WHOA!  He snapped so hard on that woman who bailed out her drunken ex-friend.  Even JJ had to tell him to dial it back.

That dude cracked me up. My initial thought was wow, she got herself a real boy toy...then when he spoke! I don't think English is even his second language...and so my new thought was, is there such a thing as "mail order husbands?"

I have no idea what he said...and now I realize I should have turned on CC, although it probably wouldn't have helped...

He was cute though- nice eye candy.

Darn, we only had one episode here today, the one with the Cat Breeder and the ADHD girl. Her fiance seemed intelligent and very articulate, although it seemed as if he had a slight speech impediment or delay. 

 

What happened with the other case - the one where Byrd got strict with one of the litigants?

I'm thinking the young woman has bigger issues than ADHD to get disability. It's hard to get disability for moderate autism I can't imagine them doing it for ADHD.

I think the lady had to pay her bail back bc even though she had no money she offered up her mothers IrA. Unless I'm confusing cases.

I wanted JJ to go harder at that mother. Seriously, living off your daughter's SSI when the daughter seems capable of handling herself and the mother seems capable of working. I'm glad the daughter met a man who saw the mess that was going on and stepped in. My opinion would be different if he didn't have a job, but since he said he's working and just wanted them to stop stealing the daughter's money, I'm cool with him. They do both seem a bit challenged and, like JJ, I question the wisdom of them bringing a child into the world. But that child will probably be better off than most litigants' kids are.

 

I'm glad to have new episodes!

My thinking as well.  This was another of those sporadic JJ turnarounds, where she actually backs down from an initial position.  Here, she was probing the girl to see why she was on disability and not working, but after a few questions, maybe she realized the girl really had intellectual challenges and probably deserved to receive disability payments.  It is likely the girl does not understand the full nature of her disability, as she has a rep payee.  (I've done some disability law.)  So when she says she has ADHD, that's what she knows, remembers or understands about it. 

 

 Moreover, JJ really got pissed at the mother for having sucked at the government teat for years, living off the girl's disability payments.  Once JJ realized the mother had applied for the payments when the girl was eight years old and had never worked but had "volunteered," she turned vicious.  I really liked this case and the resolution and hope the young couple do well.

P.S.  Smirky kitten-selling troll joins that other smirky troll from a couple of months ago.  Let's start a list of smirky trolls.

I'm with you there, and actually the people who put money in the pockets of amoral puppy/kitten peddlers are also getting animals with genetic question marks, since I've never seen a "breeder" on this show who has shown their animals to championships before breeding them and can prove up they've been tested for and cleared of all genetic defects.

 

Crystal Meth NEVER had any intention of even getting the most basic vaccinations for that kitten before handing it over to a stranger at a mall. That would eat into her profits. Why doesn't she become a surrogate mom and use her own uterus for profit, instead of those of helpless animals? Oh silly me - as though anyone would want HER genes and massive ears.

 

I do like how JJ often comes down hard on idiots who mistreat or neglect their animals.

I thought he was going to backhand her. I mean, when JJ has to tell you to be nicer  - Whoa! covers it! But I love that Byrd is a real baliff and not someone chosen from central casting because he looks good in the uniform.

Felonious Mate - Nice to see JJ siding with the ex-con room mate who was being pushed around by the guy who had the lease.  The lessor calling the lessee's parole officer because he (the lessor) had a gun was really low.  I bet the lessee did have a temper, though.  A great example of the hazards of letting cats out the window.

 

Pimp My Salon - Xzibit dressed up the defendant, nice.  Loved that JJ remarked the contrast between the over the top furs, sleeked hair and general pimpage with the complete lack of evidence or paper work.  She asked the plaintiff if she had her tax returns from 2012 and 2013 as evidence of the "thriving business," the plaintiff said she had them... but not those years.  JJ laughed and said, in an adorable sing song voice imitating the plaintiff: "these are the ones I want!"  JJ was so cute I wanted to put her in my pocket.  Did I hear right, the plaintiff left the "thriving business" to go to Vegas to comb Frank Marino's hair?

 

Hungry Yorkies - Another defendant that refuses to take responsibility for her vicious, ravenous beasts hungering for the flesh around the bony ankles of innocent shopping mall visitors.  The little canine piranhas ganged up and contrived to capture a shopper by trapping her with their extendable leash, and just as they were about to begin feasting on their prey, she started kicking and screaming!  I guess they had to settle for dry kibble once they got home.  Defendant: "Do you want to see pictures of the dogs?" JJ: "Do you want to see pictures of my grandchildren?" The best thing about this case was the hallterview, where it became evident that the dog wrangler's lackadaisical attitude angered the dogs' prey resulting in a fight that devolved into blows.

 

I have a fantasy that one day JJ will invite us all to LA for a taping of the show.  We here are her biggest fans.

Here's what I don't get about the lying cat breeder. She was obviously caught in a lie about the vaccines and vet visit but she never wavered from her lie. I've seen this before on Judge Judy. Do so many people get away with this growing up that they just lie as a reflex and assume they will get away with it?

Maybe, or maybe they think they're so clever that no way will their lying be uncovered. Many of them also seem to feel that if they keep repeating themselves, JJ will give in.

 

JJ: "No, it's not".

Lying Idiot: "Yes, it is."

 

JJ: "No, it's not!"

L.I. "Yes, it is."

 

Repeat ad nauseum until L.I. either gets shut down or kicked out.

Sylvia Whitfield! The wig, the eyebrows, the giant eyelashes, the fur jacket, the low cut dress? I could come up with only two possibilities:

 

She was going to perform in Vegas right after the show, or she's the madam of a house of ill repute. She drew all the attention away from the plaintiff, who appeared to be just a run-of-the-mill lying, scammer type.

 

Another defendant that refuses to take responsibility for her vicious, ravenous beasts

 

 

What a bitch. Usually irresponsible morons have some sort of idiotic defense, but hers was, "I wasn't there and it wasn't my dogs."

 

Mr. Misson (or Frisson or whatever), sawed-off, wide-eyed and thick tongued fool who rents rooms in his apartment, but never thinks to find out if the people he picks up on CL are felons BEFORE he lets them move in? Oh, and he's a liar on top of everything else.

I do think you're right when you say that people just think they'll get away with it.  And some of them get away with it because the majority of people they lie to are afraid to call them out on their shit.  

 

Some people use the saying, "they lie so much, they actually believe their lies."  I don't buy into that theory.  I think the kitten miller and other habitual liars know good and well that they are lying.  They just pick a story and stick with it....poorly.  As Abraham Lincoln said, "No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.

If this show has taught me one thing, it's that no matter how racist, sexist, homophobic and right-wing my brother is, and how much he disapproves of my "deviant lesbian lifestyle", I am glad that he is a mechanic who fixes my car for the cost of parts only and will check out any used car that me and the missus try to buy. Because I guess blood is thicker than preconceived notions of your sister's icky "lesbian lifestyle". Or something. And he never overcharges. The folks on this show are just DUMB when it comes to buying used automotives.

Someone tipped off Jimmy Kimmel about the defendant on JJ with the unusual name of Crystal Methven.  He mentioned it in his opening monologue and showed a clip of her entering the courtroom.  I didn't see the original JJ show, but when Jimmy played the clip the announcer sounded like he was pronouncing the name as "crystal meth-head".

 

Apparently her name has sparked interest all over the place, such as here:

I think this was simple intimidation - possession (or maybe even access to firearms) by a convicted felon is a parole violation which could get him sent back to prison. There are legal details involved, being under the same roof wouldn't necessarily be a violation, but the plaintiff renting out a room without securing his firearms in a decent safe was a complete fool on this issue alone. However, if the defendant knew about the firearms he should have run away as fast as he could - all the plaintiff would have to do is to deliberately leave a firearm in any common area and the defendant could be violated.

Plus, she had on her face some kind of base or moisturizer that reflected the lights when she tilted her head at certain angles.  It looked as if her eyes were shooting rays.   Her fur coat was clearly better than Eurydice's ratty, reddish fur from a couple of seasons back. ["Take off the coat!" -- Judge Judy] On the other hand, Eurydice had a matching fur handbag; Sylvia needs to get one of those.

Wait, you could send someone back to jail by having a firearm in a common area in your home?

 

I don't own any guns and don't know any felons (that I know of), so don't think I'm planning anything.  I could see someone who didn't like a relative or the significant other of someone close to them and setting that person up.  Invite the felon to an event, like a holiday or Superbowl party, sit them down and then call the cops.  As the law pulls up, put a gun on a table behind the felon and then open the door to send said felon back to jail.

 

That's kind of scary, but I could see this happening.  Why hasn't there been a Jerry Springer or Steve Wilcos show on this before?

My son has a drinking problem and he will lie about the most stupid things. There are three people in our house. If a bottle of wine is missing, and neither I nor my DH drank it, then logically it can only be my son. But you ask him and get a surly "no" accompanied by the rolling of eyes.

Its not really that simple. Parolees do get the short end of the stick on believability but at the same time, a decent cop would be questioning why the person invited the felon to their home, sat them down for the game and then called the cops.

I am so glad that it doesn't fly in JJ's America.  That father must be so manipulative to get those large sums of money out of his son.  I was shocked that a kid 18 or 19 years old even had the amounts of money that were mentioned.  And the poor kid fell for it...and I think I remember JJ asking him why he gave his father all of that money, and the son said, "I love him."  He had no idea that his dad was swindling money from him.  

 

Strangely, my station (in Orlando) didn't interrupt for the international news story.  So, I got to  see the entire story of the ex-husband who not only stole the elite-brand appliances, but he SOLD them.  I wondered if his actions were due to spite or gambling debts.  Then, the hallterview.  The ex-husband said, "Now I can get to the business at hand.  Winning my wife back."  What in the hell???  These two individuals looked like normal people but, in his case, looks are deceiving.  The ex-wife clearly served him some Honey Bunches of NO.  JJ was justified in asking him if he had ever fallen and suffered a head injury while working in his window washing business.

I am so bummed. The spousal unit has decided to retire, thus curtailing a good portion of  my daily guilty pleasure that is JJ.  And the few episodes I decide to dvr end up being pit bull/loan vs. gift boringness.  I wish the episode descriptions would highlight fashion and personal demographics - those seem to be far more interesting! Today's sounds like a good one.

 

And it would be great if someone would start a fashion thread (with screen shots or videos of course). I am still enthralled with the woman a few months back with the matching clown red hair and foundation garments. So informative! And trendy, too!

The stolen/sold appliances case that was cut short for some viewers:

The ex-wife rattled off the names of the appliances, and they were no joke.  These were top-of-the-line pieces, not "look for a good deal in the Sears circular" appliances like mine.  Sub-Zero fridge, Bosch dishwasher, Viking range/oven, and I'm forgetting whatever else was on the list.  JJ asked if the plaintiff had photos of these items, and when she did, JJ looked at her skeptically and asked, "WHY do you have pictures of your kitchen??"  The woman convincingly said that her daughter had taken those photos years ago.  There were also pictures of the kitchen with the appliances missing...just huge empty squares bordered by plywood.  

 

JJ then set her angry glare on the smirking ex-husband and asked him, "WHY did you do this?"  She wanted to know what possessed him to be so stupid.  She asked him what he did with the appliances, and he said he sold them.  JJ was appalled, and the guy mumbled about owing something to people who had done work for him or something.  The judge asked him again if he ever hit his head while on the job.  

 

If I remember correctly, the wife was awarded over $4,000.

The ex-wife rattled off the names of the appliances, and they were no joke.  These were top-of-the-line pieces, not "look for a good deal in the Sears circular" appliances like mine.  Sub-Zero fridge, Bosch dishwasher, Viking range/oven, and I'm forgetting whatever else was on the list.  JJ asked if the plaintiff had photos of these items, and when she did, JJ looked at her skeptically and asked, "WHY do you have pictures of your kitchen??"  The woman convincingly said that her daughter had taken those photos years ago.  There were also pictures of the kitchen with the appliances missing...just huge empty squares bordered by plywood.  

 

JJ then set her angry glare on the smirking ex-husband and asked him, "WHY did you do this?"  She wanted to know what possessed him to be so stupid.  She asked him what he did with the appliances, and he said he sold them.  JJ was appalled, and the guy mumbled about owing something to people who had done work for him or something.  The judge asked him again if he ever hit his head while on the job.  

 

If I remember correctly, the wife was awarded over $4,000.

Yup. It was $4,300. That case was unbelievable. She does him this HUGE favor, and he steals his dead mother-in-law's appliances. Real cases, real people indeed. You can't make this stuff up!

That dude with the shakes certainly got the camera operator's attention. Did you see them pan all the way up and down him as he was shaking life a freaking leaf? To be fair, if I knew I was soon to be a recipient of JJ's ire, I'd probably shake until I pissed myself and then passed out. But, I don't break most of JJ's rules for living in America, so I needn't worry too much about that.

Then, in the hallterview, the delusional appliance thief, Mr. Chipperfield, had the nerve to say that he was trying to "win" his ex-wife back! Sure, pal...that's what every girl wants -- a guy who rips her dead mother's appliances out of the wall and sells them.

 

It was satisfying to see JJ smack down the deadbeat dad who took money from his injured 19-year-old son to pay DUI fines and child support. It galls me when folks seem to think that they are entitled to someone else's money.
